IRONING-IABLE.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ABRAHAM T. GOLD- FIELD,.a citizen of Russia, residing at New York city, in the county of NewYork and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements inIroning-Tables, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to ironing tables and its object is to provide adevice which can be formed into an ironing board or into a table forordinary use as may be desired and as will be more fully described inthe following specification, set forth in the claim. and illustrated inthe drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improvedtable. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the device transformed into anironing board. Fig. 3 is a plan view of a part of the frame of thetable. Fig. 4c is an end view of a portion of the table, looking in thedirection of the hinged end of the part 5. Fig. 5 is a view similar toFig. 4, looking in the direction of the free end of the section 5. Fig.6 is a section through the table, showing the section 7 folded beneaththe section 5.

The board is made in two sections 5 and 6 of the shape of an ordinaryironing board when the parts are brought into position as shown in Fig.2. The two sections are hinged together and the part 5 constitutes apart of the top of the table, the other part of the top being a section7, also hinged to part 5 and adapted to fold beneath same when thedevice is formed into an ironing board. The part 5 is hinged to one end8 of a frame by means of hinges 9. The frame consists of the end 8 andan opposite end 10, the two ends being united by a brace 11 and each endhas its legs 12. The end 8 comprises a solid bar uniting its two legs12, but the end 10 comprises a hinged portion 13, which carries one ofthe legs and which is adapted to swing around as shown inFig. 2 when itis desired to cause it to constitute a support for the section 6.

In order to convert the table into an ironing board, the sections 5 and7 are swung Copies of this patent may be obtained for Specification ofLetters Patent.

up on the hinges 9 and a portion 14 of the end S is swung around on thehinge 15 permitting the part 7 to be folded beneath the board section 5.Said portion 14: also forms a rest for the section 7 when the latterlies in thesame general plane with the section 5 as shown in Figs. 1and 1. When the section 7 is folded to underlie the section 5, it isdisposed in an intervening recess 16 between the under surface of thesection 5 and the reduced part 17 of said portion 1 1. This permits thesection 5 to lie in a true horizontal position. The end 10 is recessedlongitudinally along its upper surface, as at 18, to accommodate anadjacent portion of the section 7 when the latter is folded under thesection 5, thereby permitting-the latter to be properly sustained in ahorizontal position to insure the proper engagement of the free section6 with theportion 13. The leg 12'carried by the section 13 is then swungaround beneath the section 6 after it is (-)X tended.

It is obvious that the table may be constructed of any desired size orstrength and the parts may be otherwise arranged and modified withoutdeparting from the essential features above described.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,-

In an ironing table, the combination with a frame composed of threerigid legs connected together, of a pivoted leg adapted to swing inadvance of the table and hinged to the frame, a top section hinged tothe frame, a drop end hinged to the same, a second hinged sectionconnected with the first and adapted to be folded beneath same, thepivoted leg when swung beneath the drop section being adapted to supportit.

In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
